Star Citizen - Signatures & Emissions - Arena Commander 1.0

An Overview of Signatures, Emissions & Missiles in Arena Commander 1.0. Arena Commander has brought a load of new features to dog-fighting in Star Citizen. Most objects generate a detectable signature of some sort. These signals take on any number of forms: radio signals, electromagnetic signals, audio signals. In Arena Commander 1.0 we have IR – Infrared Heat Thrusters & Systems will generate heat Coolers & Time will reduce heat EM – Electromagnetic This is generated by shields, power plants & system use. More Power being used the higher the EM Cross-Section This is a 3D signature & is literally the actual shape & volume of the ship. The Cross Section will change based on the angle you view the target. An Avenger viewed from the Front has a lower CS than if it was viewed from the top for example. To Register these detectables there is the SNR system or Signal to Noise Ratio To be able to detect a target in Arena Commander it has to be more signal than noise or more obvious than the background. What, then, is noise in Star Citizen? It’s not an arbitrary value and most importantly it is not a constant! At present, every Star Citizen map contains a default level of noise intended to mimic background cosmic radiation The noise value is determined by measuring the maximum amount of noise between two targets. Stuff in the game that comes between these targets causes more noise or reduces signal. This can be an asteroid, a ship, a chaff . This is all controlled by a clever logic system! SO we have cool ways to target and detect ships in AC 1.0 So now we have a load of cool missiles that lock onto ships based on EM or IR & Even Rockets My System Specs: i7 4790K 4.5GHz Processor 16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400MHz Ram MSI Z97 G-55 Motherboard XFX Radeon R9 290X 4096MB GFX 120GB SSD - Games / 60GB SSD - OS Windows 7 64 Professional WEBSITE - http://boredgamer.co.uk CHANNEL - http://www.youtube.com/BoredGamerUK GET GAMES - http://www.cdkeyvast.com TWITTER - http://twitter.com/BoredGamerUK All Music Provided by Matthew Huffaker aka Teknoaxe Teknoaxe Youtube - http://www.youtube.com/teknoaxe Star Citizen - Signatures, Emissions & Missiles - Arena Commander 1.0 Star Citizen - Signatures, Emissions & Missiles - Arena Commander 1.0 Star Citizen - Signatures, Emissions & Missiles - Arena Commander 1.0
